EDITORS COMMENTS
The Miracle of Chonae, a seventeenth-century masterpiece by the Greek School, is a captivating work of art that showcases the rich heritage of Christianity and the exquisite artistic skills of the Greek tradition. This tempera painting on wood, dating back to 1603, depicts an angel and Archangel Michael in a miraculous scene. The setting is an oratory, a small religious building, where two men, possibly hermits, are in deep prayer. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the arrival of the angel and Archangel Michael. Michael, with his golden halo and wings spread wide, is a symbol of divine power and protection. The angel, with a golden staff in hand, is believed to be the one who performed the miracle at Chonae, a location in ancient Greece. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in this painting is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Greek School. The gold accents add a sense of grandeur and otherworldliness to the scene, while the delicate brushstrokes bring the figures to life. This painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Petit Palais in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek and Orthodox Christian art on the world, and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
